Serious Sam 3 Will Soon Give You 16 Player Co-Op

Make the next Serious Sam game official. Developer Croteam is bringing the next entry, Serious Sam 3: BFE, to PC and consoles mid 2011, a "glorious throwback to the golden age of first-person shooters," they say.

That's when "men were men, cover was for amateurs and pulling the trigger made things go boom," according to Serious Sam 3's official unveiling, which came with five fresh looks at the first-person shooter. The next Serious Sam will bring 16-player cooperative play to the campaign, which we're assuming we'll involve more shooting than strategy.
